LeBron James explains his draft analysis, says Deshaun Watson should be Browns QB

During LeBron James’ fantastic shootaround press conference on Monday, James wanted to clarify his comment that Dennis Smith Jr. should be a Knick was not a shot at New York’s eventual draft pick Frank Ntilikina. And in the process of explaining his comment, James also said injured Houston Texans quarterback should be the quarterback for his hometown Cleveland Browns.

“I think Deshaun Watson should be a Brown, it doesn’t mean Myles Garrett isn’t going to be a great football player,” James told reporters. “Deshaun Watson should have been our quarterback. It’s not that you’re s***ing on the next guy. It’s just stating what you see. It’s a clarification for people who live in a box and people like Enes Kanter who always have something to say. I don’t know what’s wrong with him.”

“When I was watching the draft I thought they were going to pick him,” James said. “I knew what he was capable of doing. And I knew that the Knicks were looking for a point guard. This is facts right? I thought they would pick him and they didn’t. No shade at Frank, I wasn’t even thinking about the kid. I was talking about Dennis Smith, the Knicks organization at the time, Phil Jackson and Porzingis.”
